Golden Knights Face Rangers in Madison Square Garden as Road Trip Continues

NEW YORK, NY – The Vegas Golden Knights (13-6-8) will face the New York Rangers (15-12-3) this Sunday at Madison Square Garden in a 4 p.m. PT matchup. The game marks the second stop on a five-game road trip for Vegas, who are coming off a 3-0 shutout victory against the New Jersey Devils.

Vegas, currently second in the Pacific Division, boasts a strong road defense, having allowed the fewest goals (29) of any NHL team on the road. Their power play is also potent, ranking fifth in the league at 25.3%. Watch for key players like Mark Stone, who has 16 points in his last 10 games, and Tomas Hertl, who has three goals in as many games.

The Rangers, currently second-to-last in the Metropolitan Division, are coming off a 3-2 overtime loss to the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday. While they have points in six of their last seven games, the Golden Knights will be looking to capitalize on the Rangers playing the second game of a back-to-back. Artemi Panarin leads New York with 31 points.

Keys to the Game: The Golden Knights will need to pepper the Rangers’ netminders with shots and capitalize on power-play opportunities. A strong start is also crucial, as Vegas is 8-1-2 when scoring first.

Milestone Watch: Several Golden Knights are approaching career milestones: Brett Howden is one point shy of 100 as a Golden Knight, Shea Theodore is two assists away from 300 career assists, Colton Sissons is four goals away from 100 career goals, Jack Eichel is nine assists away from 400 career assists, and Shea Theodore is nine games away from 600 career games.

This is the second time the teams have met this season, with the Golden Knights previously securing a 3-2 victory at home. A win for Vegas would mark the 375th in franchise history and give them a 10-6-0 all-time record against New York.

The game will be broadcast on Scripps Sports (The Spot-Vegas 34 in Vegas) and streamed on KnightTime+. Radio coverage is available on FOX Sports Las Vegas 98.9/1340.
